Sec. 20. All acts and parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act are hereby re pealed. Approved January 10th, 1S62. Low-Headed Frajt-Trecs. In trimming fruit tree3 vre should always be careful to secure the trunk from the rays of the summer sun. Solar heat, by being long permitted to come in contact with the bark, 13 said to scald the circulating fluids, and thus cause many of the diseases which affect fruit trees in thi3 climate. The foliage only should be fully exposed to the influences of heat, for that is capable of bearing it unharmed, and even to profit by it, when ino3t intense. It has been asserted by distinguished terraculturista that trees which are permitted to branch out low say three or four feet from the ground are rarely attacked by "fire blight," "fro zen sap blight," black spots, or other diseases of the bark or limbs. There is, abo, another advantage attending this practice. The soil is kept lighter, looser, and more free from weeds, and there is no necessity of mulching. The high winds pas3, also, almost harmless over the trees, and hive not power to twist, rack, and break the branches, pr to detach the fruit, as they do where the branches aspire and are exposed. A writer on thi3 subject says: "The trees will be much longer lived, more prolific, beau tiful, and profitable. They are most easily rid of destructive insect3, and fruit i3 much les3 damaged by falling and the facilities for gathering it are much greater; there is less danger in climbing, and less danger in breaking the limbs. The trees require les3 pruning, scraping, and washing, if the two latter are thought necessary ; and the roots are protected from the scourge of the plow, which is too often allowed to tear and mutilate them." The proper shape for a fruit tree is that of an umbrella reversed. When this shape is communicated by prun ing, the foliage is more freely exposed to the action of the solar rays and to the air, which ought always to have a tree circulation amon the foliage and fruit. . By communicating a coni form to any tree, although it may be rather more graceful and elegant in it3 effects upon a landscape, we certainly injure it in many ways, if looked upon as an object of profit. The fruit of apple treet which grows cn the interi or limbs, where the surrounding foli age and branches prevent the sun's rays from penetrating, and where the direct influences of the heat are never felt, is, to a certain extent, insipid; it does not mature thoroughly, and will not keep so long or so perfectly as that wicagrows on the outside branches, exposed to the sun and wind. It also varies so much in shape, and especially in color, that we have known two phtes of apples selected from the sain Baldwin tree, on'e of which was pronounced by a skilful fruit grower to be the Baldwin, and the other plate another variety. N. E. Fanner, leap over. This is capital training",, the results of whic'i are seen in tbo- ! sfter disposition of the animals to try their powers of jumping, when a top rail happens to be 'off, and this accom plished, to set ail f:nces at dr-Sir.c:.-, and make a descent upon the c or grain field, as their inennat: : ability or hunger may prompt then:. Anoth-T" good lesson is to open a gate but :i little way, and then, as in the of the bars, force the; cittb forv. .; by threats and blows,-compel :,..m ti pre- through it. The result c-f thh teaching is shown in the determined, spirit manifested by some cattle to . make a forcible entry into stabler, yard?," where field.', or. in fact. Vi almost every place whero a gate of door may, by accident, be left t-y. open. It may be set down as a fixed rule. that the most troublesome cattloin tho country, are those which belong to careless farmers. We attributo thid partly to the facts above referred to, but mcro particularly .to. tho maro . striking one still, -that they are not ' properly fed. If you want to- rn.ako good jumpers of jcur : cattle, h.ilf starve them, and your object will to most effectually . accomplished, ci-. pecially if, in connection with tho starving process, you compd them to. jump three of the bar-rail?, or force'' them through a half-open gateway qr door. We think ourselves perfectly safe in saying that tho jumping pro clivities of cattle are, in nine cases out of ten, the results of tho causes' we have named; and tho most effec tual and certain rcmdy for this bad habit, is first to feed them so well, that- ' they will not be tempted to jump into , your corn or grain field.. .Second. When you wish them to pass through.. bars, put down all the h"--r rails,, . and leave the "top one in i:s place, provided the cattle can pass under it without injury to their back3. Third. Always make it a point to cpen tho gates or door through which they are te pass to their full width, cr at least . so much that the animals can get; . through without difficulty or danger of having the skin torn. These- sim ple rules observed, you need fear no jumping cattle. If, in spita of them,' you find, &3 is sometimes .the case, that an unruly member of your flock or herd will still jump, your best and only plan i3 to send it to the butcher's for as "one fool makes many," boojiq jumping animal on a farm will make", jumpers of many others, who, but for the bad example, would havo remained peaceable and well disposed. Farmer and Gardener. How Wc Teach Oar Cattle Bad Habits. We arc too apt to understand the intelligence ofthq domestic animals under our charge and yet a moment's reflection should teach every farmer that cows, horses, sheep and pigs are very apt pupils ; and most farmers and farmers' boys are quite proficient in teaching them to do mischief. Thus we find many persons, when turning stock into or cut of pasture, instead of letting down all the bars, leave two or three of the lower rails in their place, and then, by shouting or beating, perhaps force the anksafi to Dccaj or Eoofs. There is nothing more unpleasant to the eyo of an order-loving farmer than moss on his roof. Some folks,' it is true esteem it an ornament, but they are tho?e who sco wondrous" beauty in moss-covered ruins, (see last new novel,) but not ?o with the man who loves not only neatness. ; but who is desirous, on economical, grounds, of preserving his roof to th-o-longest possible period. Our excel-, lent neighbor, of the Worliin:j Fanr.cr, has the following on the subject, which v'e commend to the attention" cf those" who are about putting on new rc-ofs "There is a barn near our farm witlV a shingle roof fifty years old,- and tho. shingles appear quite as bright, .and Iri as good order as most shinglo roofs ; at the end of the first year. When built, it was coated with a lime wash tinted with ochre, rn l fully charged with glue and salt.

About twenty vears since, it was agnirk recoated, with the lime-wash tinted with umber. ' This is 'now pretty gen erally removed, still leaving an even color to the shingles, a surpriiin,; freshness of appearance. "We suppose that lime alone put on as a whitewash, would have answered all these purposes, though- not so agreeable to the eye, while the wash tinted to resemble the color of tha shingle, can never be unsightly."
